    What did you crave?

    I have just had my 4th spinach and feta triangle this week - sorry waistline!!!

    I hardly had any before falling preg and now they seem to be all I think about when I'm out and about lol. I didn't have any cravings with DD at all.

    Did you have any cravings?
    When did they start?

    With DS, for the first 10 - 12 weeks I couldn't stand the smell of meat cooking, so I didn't really have cravings from the beginning. Then, between 11wks and 20wks it was chips and gravy from work and coke. From 21wks to 24wks it was Iced Chocolate drinks (food wise, I can't remember) and then from 25wks till basically the end, craved Frozen cokes and went back to chips and gravy (not very odd ) - oh and from bout 32wks I just had to have ice and chew down on it

    With this one, from 5wks to bout 10wk, whenever I had a tiny bit of sour cream, I would just crave it (and I HATE sour cream with a passion!) and just want and want and want. From 10wks till 20wks it was green appples (couldn't be red, HAD to be green!) I also had (for bout 2 weeks) the craving for a beer. No particular brand, just the taste of beer. I did, however, have two small mouthfuls of a beer that was bought by a friend, and I felt satisfied. From 18wks to 25wks I had cravings for Vegemite on toast and now from bout 24wks till now I've not been able to get enough of chocolate or anything that's sweet (and I have sensitive teeth so you can imagine how horrible I feel afterwards!)
    Oh and as for the munching on ice? That started again from 22-24wks

    I haven't had cravings as such, but if I eat something, I'll eat it for a whole week... and than gag at the thought of eating it again!

    Cruskits and vegemite
    Choc chip muesli bars
    Grated cheese and carrot sandwiches
    Strawberry yogurt
    Fresh blueberries

    I would do just about anything for a beer. DH's XXXX gold smell amazing

    I do the same Nic!

    Sadly I can't stand vegetables when pregnant!

    But I can't get enough of fruit! Nectarines, peaches, oranges. Love fruit!

    Oh and olives haha

    I do have major cravings for cheese but I can't have it

    My cravings changed all the time and I was very susceptible to smell - if I could smell something I *Had* to have it. But the regular ones were:

    vegemite toast, with or without melted cheese.
    green veggies - including brussel sprouts which I ordinarily loathe
    milo in ice cold milk
    olives
    smoked salmon/runny eggs - didn't indulge in those other than a couple of home cooked eggs towards the end.
    bananas - even when stupidly expensive

    Cereal. In fact, pretty much every meal I had for most of my pregnancy was s breakfast item!! I couldn't stand the smell or even sight of meat for ages so I pretty much had cereal for breaky, toast with vegemite for lunch, crumpets with nutella for dinner and yoghurt for snacks! The only meat I could go near for the first 20 weeks was canned tuna!! I did have a phase of living boiled pasta with tomato sauce and grated cheese from 20-30 weeks tho

    Homebrand choc covered ice-cream... The expensive ones were too sweet!
    Both pregnancies started 3rd trimester, although it did coincide with summer too...
    Nothing other than that

    With Moo I craved fruit salad and orange juice from early on, ham cheese and tomato sandwiches came about halfway.

    With this one I've craved anything salty but can't remember when it started - somewhere early on when I had bad morning sickness!

    For all three I have loved my fresh fruit, not craved it as such considering my diet is so limited with everything that makes me sick.

    But I 'crave' emotions, like I search out things that will give me an emotional fix. if that makes any sense whats so ever!

    Cool thread!

    Preg#1 - cold cows milk & vanilla icecream in the beginning, cold tofu straight out of the fridge in the end. the sight and smell of meat and alcohol repulsed me. Funnily DS#1 is dairy intolerant and eats and lkes protein from eggs, fish, tofu etc..

    Preg#2 (m/c) - muesli and chicken nuggets (macca's only- i would buy a jumbo box)

    Preg #3 - Snow peas! I used to buy them by the bag chocked full in the supermarket and munch on them all the way round while I was shopping. I also craved steak and beer. DS#2 is a red meat and salad lover (have tested the beer on him!)
